He has successful private practices in Beverly Hills, CA., and Manhattan, NY, sub-specializing in genital plastic surgery. He is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at the UCLA School of Medicine in Los Angeles, California.
In addition to being published in numerous medical journals on innovative surgical techniques, Dr. Alter is also co-editor of Reconstructive and Plastic Surgery of the External Genitalia – a major medical textbook recently published by W.B.
